Pros: Hillary will give obama the Latino vote in the U.S. and she won most of the big states during the primaries, which can help out Obama. She also nearly split half the vote of Americans, which if she was part of the ticket, Democratic party would regain those. Smart choice is Hillary as VP. 9  out of 12 found this valuable.

Pros:
1. experience
2. name recognition and large following
3. Women, women, women....
4. Hispanics
5. Bill (Good Bill)
6. Jewish vote
7. Asian Americans

Cons:
1. chemistry;
2. Several republicans have a strong dislike for her, why is this important, because of turnout. Several republicans will probably stay home, because McCain does not excite them, put her on the ticket and they will vote.
3. Washington Insider
4. Bill (Bad Bill)
5. Brings New York, oh wait New York will vote for him anyway.
